Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain

Good morning, fellow PNers!
I'll lead off by mentioning John (@johnbishop), who mentioned this device a few posts back, but if you have thoughts on the Sanddune Stepper, I'd welcome hearing what you have to say. My PN messes wih my balance. I still get around fairly well, using a cane when necessary. But I'm always looking for new ideas that might help improve my balance. John, after reading your mention of the Stepper, I'm curious. I see the Stepper retails for $279. With your experience with this device, would you call this a good investment? If so, I'll order one today. (I might add that neither John nor I have any affiliation with the maker of theSanddune Stepper.)
Best wishes to us all!

@ray666 Hi Ray, It’s been a while since I last used the Stepper but at your mention of it, I saw it sitting behind the couch and got it out along with my trekking poles and did some walking in place for about 5 minutes. Sigh, I need to start using it again. It makes my feet feel better but challenges my balance. I couldn’t do it without the trekking poles, at least not safely.
I think if I used it like I planned to when I bought it, it would be worth the money.
I’ll have dig out my research on why I bought it and get back to you. I think it can help improve your balance over time as it does strengthen your foot and legs, like walking barefoot in the sand. One end is high density foam and the other end is low density foam. That makes your toes and heels work harder depending on which direction you are standing on the Stepper.
Cheers mate!
